My favorite rifle?
The ancient Remmington 721 .270 WIN inherited from my Grandpa ...... dinged and dented, bluing wearing off, with a cheap 20 dollar scope installed for him in the 80's when his eyesight began to fail ..... he was very ill with cancer when he gave it to me, and knew he would not see another deer season. "Now, don't go hanging this on the wall as some kind of memorial- it's a gun, made to be shot." I have certainly done that.....
